Happy Saturday ❤️ I'm revisiting a childhood favourite - Midnight Blue by Pauline Fisk at the mo. I can almost smell my old bedroom when I'm reading it 💖

AmyG Hahahaha. I always buy books when “inconvenienced”….big or small. There is a bookstore next to my dentist and it always ends with a book. 4mo
Deblovestoread @AmyG A book is a fantastic reward for visiting the dentist always. 4mo

I really enjoyed this one - more so than the second book. Avery and Zib et al find themselves in the domain of the Queen of Swords and must find their way back to the impossible road before she manages to trick them into staying and becoming one of her monsters. The character development was so well done, as the children learn to accept their flaws and work towards supporting each other more. I also loved the new morally grey character Jack

Forced to make a random jump Everett and the crew of the Everness end up in a world where dinosaurs did not become extinct and who want to expand into other alternative worlds.

Very exciting. I thought it was a self-contained trilogy but several story threads, including the ending, are left hanging obviously expecting another in the series, which hasn't appeared 9 years later so probably isn't going to.

Not an end to the adventure, but a much better finishing point for this instalment of the series.
I continue to marvel at McGuire's unending creativity in the worlds she creates and further develops. This is both in designing the manner of the world's functioning and the spare yet exquisitely fitting descriptions of the way things/characters look, even as the fantasy is often tinged with horror. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality The other continuous stand out in her writing, clearer the younger the audience she is writing for, is moments where she pauses to explain to the reader a truth they have likely experienced, often one that was not easy to learn, but in such graceful and compassionate yet uncompromising terms that you feel better having heard it, like a friend has commiserated or a parent has admonished with kindness. 2/? 2y
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 I will say it remains a strange experience for the cruel whims of a fairy tale to make every day linear life feel a lot better and safer. I suppose it's all the lessons of adulthood wrapped up into one: be careful what you wish for, all things come at a cost, etc. Real life shares the occurence of the arbitrary and unfair with this fantasy world.
The trouble is reading the various absurdities flavouring the story, then reading the characters rehash how that is unfair, this doesn't make sense, over and over, can occasionally makes the nonsense tiresome.
Still, I will definitely be continuing in the series.
